Rebecca's Magical Platforms

I love so many things about this flat. We are in Maida Vale, a leafy area with a village feel while still being in Central London - we have a tube (subway) station a 30 second walk away! Also how we have managed to fit so much in to such a small space, we can sleep 6 people comfortably! My favorite thing is the TV unit which Ben made, it now displays all our favorite books, picture frames and pretty decorative bits.We also love all the home-made artwork on the walls that we've made over time.

Biggest Challenge of Living in a Small Space

The whole flat needed renovating anyway but we saw the high ceilings (11ft) and decided to build mezzanine/sleeping platforms above what is now the kitchen and bathroom. It took a lot of work but now we have so much more space! We have turned what was a one bedroom flat into 2 and have space for an office area with lots of built in storage as a result of the magical platforms!
